Product Care and Safety Information

General Warnings 

  • Keep out of reach of children and pets. Small parts may present a choking hazard.
  • Store away from direct heat sources and open flames. Prolonged exposure to heat can damage both wooden and PLA plastic tools.
  • Handle with care—wooden hat blocks and PLA tools are precision-crafted and should be treated gently to maintain their shape and durability.
  • Avoid excessive force, dropping, or impacts, as these may cause cracks, dents, or warping.

Usage Guidelines 

  • Always use hat blocks on a stable, non-slip surface to prevent accidental falls or damage.
  • Always cover wooden hat blocks with cling film or a plastic bag to protect from water, stiffener and other substances, as this can cause swelling, warping, or cracking.
  • PLA plastic tools should not be exposed to temperatures above 60°C (140°F), as they may soften or deform.
  • For 3D-printed PLA tools, avoid direct contact with high heat or solvents, which may weaken the structure.
  • Use gentle pressure when pinning materials to wooden hat blocks to avoid unnecessary surface damage. Be specially careful when working with thinner hat blocks like our headband hat blocks.
  • Use thin blocking pins (not the thick pins meant for cork bulletins boards). Thick blocking pins will leave larger holes.
  • The smaller the hat block the shorter will it’s lifespan be, especially when using inappropriate, e.g. too thick pins that leave big holes.

Care Instructions 

  • Cleaning Wooden Hat Blocks: Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaners or soaking in water.
  • Cleaning PLA Plastic Tools: Wipe with a dry or damp cloth as needed. Avoid scrubbing with abrasive materials or using alcohol-based cleaners.
  • Follow the instructions when replacing the blades of the brim cutting tool.
  • Storage: Keep both wooden and PLA tools in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
  • Protection: When not in use, store wooden blocks and tools away from direct sunlight.  Wood is a natural material and will change its colour with time.

By following these guidelines, you’ll ensure the longevity and reliability of your handcrafted wooden hat blocks and 3D-printed tools, allowing you to create beautiful hats for years to come.
